Theme Benson, Cypress Trees

[Dave Phillips]

Frank Benson(1862-1951), used a sunny palette with Mediterranean tones.
Blue skies, yellows, whites and red details to create paintings
full of light.

Converted original in Dynamic Auto Painter(DAP) and exported as .psd.
Converted painted layer to multiply blend mode and added texture.

Dave, Stunning!! I think when it comes to American Impressionists-Frank Benson is the man!!! I think this has beautiful tones and a very impressionist feel to it. Lovely base image also-Well done.

Lovely treatment Dave. Beautiful colours and the orig is not too shabby either. Like how you have punched it up in PP. And thanks for the great plug-in tip!

Dave, beautiful beautiful image. I'm not familiar with Benson, but the treatment reminds me of Camille
Pisarro's winter paintings. I like it a lot!:D
